Albany Democrat: In Linn nnnntv thura has been a war of ballots. Though election has been over three week a hot fight has been in progress, not for new vMes, but to destroy or regulate those al ready cant. The result shows that there are a great many people who do not know how to vote well under the present Australian ballot sys tem, and that they are pretty even ly divided between tho parties. Of filtv or sixtv ballots defective in different forms each of the two principal parties bad to tuther about tho same number. The con test will have the effect in educat ing the people up to some things in voting and it is to be hoped it includes lbs judges of election. Just what this will be on cannot be stated authoritatively until the supreme court decides one or two point! about which there is dill'oronco of opinion. Tho editor of Lo Journal lies Dc bati of I arts hai collected so ue official statistics to prove that a bombardment is not such a terrible thing alter all. In 1S70-71 the bo:nbardmont of Dclfort lasted seventy-three days, during which 99.153 nroieotiUs full withia the lUy and there were but sixty vic tims killed or wounded. At Stras burg, during tho seige of thirty eight days, the Germans fired upon the city mostly at close rane 1U3.722 shells, with a record of only three hundred victims Finally at Paris, where the bom bardment lasted only twtnty-ihree day, ten thousand seine shells were thrown, killing ami wounding 107 persons. A unitiuo feature of nearly all homes and building in Manila is the use of tiny squaro pares of translucent oyster shell instead of glass. The window measure on an average Bix feet long and four feet wide and contain 2G0 of theso oyster shell panes, which temper the fierce glare of tho s.iu in the building. Inacouutry where peo pie go blind from constant sunshine, this U a precaution very necess try to bo taken. The highe.it price ever reached bv wheat was $5 per bushel in 1812. This price was duo to the failure of the Knglih crop, and a very high tariff oa cereals. In November of 1S(6 wheat sold at $2.03 in Chicago, And during the following spring a "corner" sent the price to if 2. S3 by May 1. In 1S83 wheat went to 12 as the result of a "corner," but such instances are rare. Uosebur?

It It. Have, another of the nlorecrs of Ltne county, departed tnls llfeat blshnine in Hpenccr pre cinct, 12 miles west of Kugeue, last Saturday afternoon, alter an Mess or several month from heart disease. He was born id Warren county, Tenn., May 0. 1831, Lut when eight yearn or age was taken by Ma- parents, who moved to Dade county, Missouri, and was reared a farmer. On the dlxcor eryofgold lo Ca'lfornla our subjict, loo, fell the wild excitement ttiat pre vndid the land. Therefore, la the month of Apill, 18"0, accompanied by bis parents, he Joined a train bound for the land vt gold, and after a Jour nev of four months arilved at Cold Springs, near HaoKtown, now Placer- vl'le, where he worked In the mines fur a vear and a half. Ou the expira tion of that time Mr Hayes commenced teaming In the clv or Stockton, bis parents having proceeded to Oregon, whither our subject came In Novem ber, 1M2. and choosing Lane county, took up a donation clulm at Fern Itldge, Ihe property being now owned by Wesley Wahburne. Here Mr Hayes remaimd until 1SU0, when he purchased his present farm, slluuted in towuship eighteen, section five west and located 12 miles southwest of Kugeue. lnlS66Mr Hayes served in the Itogue Itlver war as a sergeaut lu ('a Dial u Jos lialky's company, in which he -rendered good tervlce in scouting expeditions. He was four times elected to the legislative assem bly, viz: In 1874. 1S70, 1882 aud 1884, being deteated In the election of 1873, a sequence of distinctions that leldom fulls to tho lot of anyone man, but which bad been earned by a strict at tention to business aud an earnest de sire to do the thing that Is right. A a farmer be showed a marked Interest lo the rearing of horses, doing his ut most to Improve the breed auJ infuse a good strain of blond Into the couutry. Mr Hayes married In Lane county, aud leaves a wife and several childien, inoBtly grown, aud hundreds of rela tives and friends to mourn his death. "Dick" Hayes was a generous man toafau t, and the Uuakd with sor, row chronicles his death. OIIITUAKY. It 11 Hayes died at his old home in Lane couuty, Oregon, July SI, 18'.S.

He leaven to mourn his loss three sous and three (laughters. It 11 Hayes was a kind hearted man, liberal lo help the needy, and often did ho do this, while at the suuie time he needed the help lmself. Mr Hayes was .lour times honored by the voters of Lane couuiy, who seut him to the State legislature, which position he filled with credit to him self and the people that elected him. He was burled by the side of hi parent In llichardsou grave yard. R fcl'OKMS CANNERY. Now being Overhauled for Its Kali hnu.

That the fruit crop of 1803 will be large uo one (questions, and if the growers handle It properly and receive fair price for It, instead of a bill of freight charges, a goodly amount of money should be brought luto the oounty.

The road is lu better condition t hail for years, yet there Is ample room for betterment. An appropriation by the county court for work on the road would bo money well spent. A mod erate sum would place It Ingood con dition for travel. There are very few settlers above the thirty mile stake, and it is Impossible for iheui to even begin to ketp the 50 miles of road from that point to the sunmll In prop er condition. This is an import an: thoroughfare connecting the upper cndofthoWil lamette valley and the central part of Fasten) Orrgon. It ban easy and safe grade, good bridges, and on the whole Is an excellent mouutain road. Our suirccfctinu to our county court is to employ a few trustworthy men, ilur lug Auguat, at least, and keep them at work making necessary repairs unil Improvements. The heavy travtl nec essarily dumsgea the roadbed that wa placed lu good condition before travel cummenced, and as the roud is pruell cally built of dirt, ruts and chuck holes are soon dug out. If tluee were filled aud repaired during the dry teuton, when the travel would soon pack the dirt and make the roul smooth, an other seaou uould flud itlu much bet ter condition.

California, not withstanding the early reports of great snort ago win nave as many or more than was harvested last year, while France Is reported at 100,000,000 pounds.
